"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -Cicero

Underpublicized IslamicThreats Embedded Deep in White House

Infiltration of the federal government by members of the radical
Muslim Brotherhood is worse than some have warned recently, says a
former FBI special agent in Washington.The agent confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based
Brotherhood – whose credo is “Jihad is our way and death in the cause
of Allah is our dream” – have penetrated the Obama administration.The shocking charge was first leveled by Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah during a recent speech in Toronto.“When someone says that there is penetration of jihadi Islamists
within society, do not dismiss it as some right-wing, xenophobic, racist
rant,” warned Fatah, a Canadian journalist. “Today in the White House, there are three members of the Muslim
Brotherhood that influence Obama’s policy,” he told the audience
gathered for an IdeaCity conference. “One is Rashad Hassan, who is the
American ambassador to the 52-nation Organization of Islamic
(Conference).”Fatah also named “Dalia Mogahed, who writes (Obama’s) speeches, who
comes from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; and another woman, an
academic, (who) was appointed in that circle.”Former FBI special agent John Guandolo says Obama’s ties to agents for the Muslim Brotherhood are even more extensive.“The level of penetration in the last three administrations is deep,”
he said. “For this president, it even goes back to his campaign with
Muslim Brotherhood folks working with him then.”Equally alarming, the Brotherhood also has placed several operatives
and sympathizers within key positions in Homeland Security and the U.S.
military, notes Guandolo, a former Marine Corps officer.The veteran federal agent says such infiltration threatens national
security, because the U.S. leadership of the international Brotherhood
has outlined a secret plan to “destroy” the U.S. and other Western
governments “from within.”After the 9/11 attacks, he says the FBI discovered the plan written
in Arabic among documents seized from the basement of a prominent
Brotherhood leader living in a Washington suburb.Guandolo says the stated Muslim Brotherhood strategy for change “from
within” includes the installation of loyal Brothers into political
office. President Obama’s top Muslim ambassador, Rashad Hussain, has raised
suspicions. He is U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic
Conference, a powerful international group headquartered in Saudi Arabia
and closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.Before first joining the White House as a lawyer, Hussain regularly
spoke to Brotherhood front groups and defended Brotherhood leaders like
Sami al-Arian. Hussain at first denied defending the convicted
terrorist, claiming he was misquoted, but then recanted after
Politico.com produced a tape-recording of his remarks.Recently, he has been overseas encouraging devotion to Islam, including in terror hotspots like Afghanistan.In fact, Hussain has told Afghans the antidote to Islamic violence “is Islam itself.”“I am of the opinion that one of the strongest tools that you can use
to counter radicalization and violent extremism is Islam itself,
because Islam rejects violent extremism,” he said during a recent speech
in Kabul.Hussain, a devout Muslim, says promotion of the Muslim faith is “key”
to the administration’s strategy to turn Muslims away from violence.“We see that as one of the key elements of a strategy to address this type of violence,” he said.The strategy is at odds with what the co-chairmen of the 9/11
Commission recently recommended in their follow-up report on homegrown
terror, “Assessing the Terrorist Threat: A Report of the Bipartisan
Policy Center’s National Security Preparedness Group.”The study found that Islam was motivating terrorists not just abroad,
but inside America’s Muslim community. And it scolded U.S. leaders for
pretending religion is not a factor in growing violence.Still, Hussain insists: “When it comes to the problem of violent extremism, Islam is not the problem.”Hussain helped draft Obama’s conciliatory Cairo speech to Muslims.
Also helping with the president’s speeches and policies toward Muslims
is Mogahed, whose pro-Islamist statements have been posted on the Muslim
Brotherhood’s website, ikhwanweb.com.Obama appointed the hijab-wearing Mogahed to the President’s Advisory
Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. On a British
television program, Islam Channel, Mogahed defended Shariah law, the
barbaric Islamic legal code that treats women as second-class citizens.Muslim women actually “associate gender justice or justice for women
with Shariah compliance,” she argued. “It is ‘only a small fraction’
that associate Shariah with ‘oppression of women.’”She added that Muslims should work to integrate Islamic law into public law.Another Brotherhood-tied figure influencing the White House is Azizah al-Hibri.Obama this June appointed her to the United States Commission on
International Religious Freedom. A Muslim professor, al-Hibri is also
the granddaughter of a sheik, who claims the Saudi criminal justice
system is more moral than the American one because it accepts blood
money from murderers.Al-Hibri herself has proclaimed: “Islamic fiqh (law) is deeper and better than Western codes of law.”She served on the advisory board of the American Muslim Council and
made joint appearances with its leader Abdurahman Alamoudi. Now defunct,
the AMC was a front group for the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, and Alamoudi
was the Brotherhood’s top leader in America. He is now behind bars as
one of al-Qaida’s top fundraisers in America.Al-Hibri has also made appearances at Islamic Society of North
America conferences. The Justice Department says ISNA is a Brotherhood
front and recently named the group an unindicted co-conspirator in a
plot to provide material support to Hamas terrorists.Guandolo identified several other Brotherhood-connected agents of
influence – all of whom are just as politically savvy and moderate
sounding – who have worked their way into government positions,
including:

Arif Alikhan, who was assistant Homeland Security secretary for
policy development and is now a distinguished visiting professor of
homeland security and counterterrorism at the National Defense
University.

Navy Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein and Jocelyne Cesari, a Muslim convert
who previously worked with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, both of
whom teach at colleges within the National Defense University.

Guandolo blames the advances Brotherhood figures on political correctness and lax vetting at government agencies.Even at the FBI, he notes, an Iranian-born Muslim has taken over the agency’s weapons of mass destruction program.

Stung by workplace discrimination lawsuits by Arab and Muslim
employees, the FBI has come under pressure to hire more Arab and Muslim
agents and language specialists and promote existing ones, while
clearing them for higher security levels, according the best-selling
book “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to
Islamize America.”The book cites internal FBI records showing the agency has been sued
by no fewer than 14 Arab and Muslim employees since 9/11. Some of the
lawsuits have been solicited or aided by the Council on American-Islamic
Relations, another Muslim Brotherhood front group. The FBI in 2008 cut
off formal outreach with CAIR and its branch offices.“This is happening as we remain silent. And I say that as a liberal
Democrat who worked and campaigned for Barack Obama,” said Fatah, a
Pakistan-born journalist and activist who founded the moderate Muslim
Canadian Congress to fight the spread of “Islamofascism.”“Muslim Mafia” also has prompted a lawsuit from CAIR over the acquisition by the authors of CAIR documents.In the lawsuit, CAIR, a self-described Muslim civil-rights group,
does not defend itself against the book’s claims, and the FBI has seized
the CAIR material from the Washington law office of one of the
attorneys for the authors. A previous filing in the case revealed a federal grand jury is investigating CAIR for possible violation of laws that ban financial dealings with terrorist groups or countries under U.S. sanctions.As WND reported,
CAIR’s complaint seeks to expunge all copies of “Muslim Mafia” in an
attempt, according to defense lawyers, to eliminate evidence that could
lead to criminal prosecution.
